Former White House Adviser Continues Fueling QAnon Conspiracy Theory That Ruth Bader Ginsburg is Dea

FORMER WHITE HOUSE ADVISER CONTINUES FUELING QANON CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT RUTH BADER GINSBURG IS DEAD
BY DANIEL MORITZ-RABSON ON 2/15/19 AT 4:51 PM
Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka continued to promote a conspiracy theory that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died as the Supreme Court Justice returned to work.
On Friday, NBC News reporter Ben Collins wrote that "now that RBG will be out in public soon, the conspiracy that she's secretly dead will only evolve. Too many people—not just QAnon folks (where it started) but also guys like Seb—got into this one. Expect lots of weird, close-up shots of ears to prove it's an old lady body double."
Gorka responded "How is there a 'public' appearance behind closed doors? Let the Games begin!"
Ginsburg, 85, had been absent from the court since receiving surgery to remove two cancerous nodules from her left lung in December. CNN reported that Ginsburg went to the court for a closed-door conference on Friday, the first such appearance since her operation.
While Democrats have worried about the justice's health—she fell and fractured three ribs in November—others have used Ginsburg's time away from the court to postulate that she was actually dead.
